(By A. P.) Dr. Wolfgang Kapp, who led the revolu tion in March, 1920, which resulted in the temporary overthrow of the EJ)ert government, has offered to surrender for trial with the under standing that he be given safe con duct and not be placed under arrest. His proposal has been forwarded to the supreme court at Leipsig from an unnamed port in Sweden. The insurgent leader has been domiciled in Sweden since his flight from Germany. The news of Kapp's willingness to stand trial was made public through the Dresen Nach richten, which prints a letter from Kapp in which he charges that the conviction of Trauegott von Jagow, former chief of police of Berlin was "a legal error." According to the let ter Kapp proposes to demonstrate this by standing trial on the same charge, thereby virtually obtaining a re-hearing for Von Jagow.

No Alliance in 4-Power Treaty, New Declares Uonllnunl From !( On.) republican member of the foreign relations committee, declared today in opening in the senate discussion of the treaties on behalf of the ad ministration. Replying to criticism of the treat ies, Senator New, a close personal friend of President Harding, declared that the four-power treaties gave safeguards for peace to the United States and did not impair American sovereignty. Detailed Comparison. Senator New made a detailed com parison of the treaties with the league of nations plan and asserted that the treaties were "co-operative," while the league, he said, was "drastic and compulsory" and required submis sion of all questions to a council. "Instead of threatening, injuring or impairing our liberties, free institu tions, independence and sovereignty, this treaty (the four power measure) adds to the security of all of them" said Senator New. He emphasized that rejection of the four power treaty would continue in force the Anglo-Japanese alliance with its menace to America. i Contains Similar Clause. j Regarding the treaty provision for conference and determination of procedure in case of aggression, Senator New said that the Root Takahira agreement contained a similar clause. "W'e have had for a decade an ob ligation with Japan couched in prac tically identical language and yet nobody heretofore has suggested that this constituted anything resem bling an alliance," he said. "Cer tainly during the 10 years of its ex istence, this has led us into no trou ble, no embroilment, no operations under a military alliance."
